I had abdominalplasty Oct. 31, 2012. There were issues with drainage tubes and pain management! My doctor refused to prescribe me anything more than lortab 10's (which did absolutely nothing for my pain) after going back and forth between her office and home(1 hour drive in each direction) everyday my 1st week home from the hospital! I found out that my scar was not even, I had an abscess, she ignored my drug allergies, and both of my sides are completely different. So heart broken!
Answer: Bad Tummy Tuck?
I would have to say that the scar appears to be well placed and the belly button looks reasonable. I would have to say that this is not a bad tummy tuck. You have fullness of your sides, but tummy tuck is a procedure to flatten your tummy not your sides. I would recommend completely healing, and then you may consider additional liposuction.

Answer: Recovery after Tummy Tuck
It sounds like you have had a tough recovery from the tummy tuck. Although I definitely see the asymmetry in your sides that have you concerned, 8 weeks post op is still too early in my opinion to judge your final shape. This may resolve as the swelling does. If the asymmetry does not resolve however, it can definitely be touched up. It may even be able to be touched up in the office which would make for a potentially easier recovery and minimize your expense. Good luck.

Answer: Does This Look Like a Bad Tummy Tuck? Will I Need Surgery Again?
Sorry for your issues medical and patient relationship with your surgeon. Yes you have an acceptable but below average result. But you did not post before photos so we could compare the change. Revision and correction of the asymmetric ends or dog ears can be done in a few months. Maybe using a more caring surgeon might be an idea. Seek second opinion consults in person from ONLY boarded PSs.

Answer: Dogears will require a revision after a tummy tuck.
You have had a more problematc post-op course after a tummy tuck. On balance it looks as though the result will be good. The dogears (left greater than right) will probably need a revision in the future.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Results
It would be helpful if you post before pictures as well, especially when asking for comments about your results. At just two months, you still have healing to go and you will see positive changes over the next several months. It really is too early to get worried about your results. Looking at your results, it appears that you may benefit from some liposuction along your waistline to enhance your results and possible minor dog-ear revision. However, I would suggest waiting at least six months.
Good Luck.
